Story so far

    Following an impressive eighth-place finish in the 2015/15 campaign, Hoffenheim's disappointing start to this season cost coach Markus Gisdol his job. After his successor, Huub Stevens, resigned in February 2016 due to health concerns, 28-year-old Jullian Nagelsmann stepped in to become the Bundesliga's youngest ever coach.Die Kraichgauer have spent all but six matchdays in the relegation places, but recent performances under the former academy coach have been impressive, with Matchday 27's 3-1 win at Hamburger SV punctuating a run of three wins from four games.Hoffenheim, who were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time at the end of the 2007/08 season, currently occupy the promotion/relegation play-off place. However, the foot of the table is so tightly packed that a win against 1.FC Köln on Matchday 28 could see the Sinsheim club climb as high as 14th if other results go their way.

Still to play for

    Top flight survival and an eighth consecutive Bundesliga season. Hoffenheim have Eintracht Frankfurt and Hannover 96 - the only two teams below them in the table - still to play.Meanwhile, the Matchday 26 1-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg can give Nagelsmann's side confidence ahead of upcoming matches against other European aspirants such as Hertha Berlin and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
